Over the last century, Dar es Salaam has grown from a sleepy Zaramo fishing village into a thriving tropical metropolis of over four million people. Straddling some of the most important sea routes in the world, it is East Africa’s second-busiest port and Tanzania’s commercial hub. Despite this, and its notorious traffic jams, the city has managed to maintain a low-key, down-to-earth feel.

Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Rimming the central area is Kivukoni Front, with a bustling fish market where dhows dock at dawn to offload the night's catch. Excellent craft markets and restaurants abound, and nearby sandy beaches and islands beckon.
Dar es Salaam’s architecture is a mixture of African, Arab, Indian and German, although much of this is now dwarfed by towering high-rises. Many travellers bypass ‘Dar’ completely; those that linger will encounter the city’s eclectic cultural mix and languid vibe.

I had an amazing experience exploring Dar es Salaam with [Guide's Name]! They were incredibly kind, flexible, and knowledgeable, sharing so much about the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. From historical landmarks to local markets, every stop was engaging and insightful. The day ended perfectly with a refreshing coconut water and a fun shopping stop. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic and immersive tour!

It took us about 300m walk in the hot African morning sun from our ship to outside the port where the car was waiting for us. Then it took another 5 minutes to find the car as our name was put inside the car so we couldn't see it. The car was an old black Toyota Alphard with very good aircon.
The driver (forgive me, forgot the name) didn't speak much as he was not a guide. We were on this tour without a guide.
First he took us to a fish market. Someone suddenly showed up and showed us around and explained everything in English. Quite knowledgable, probably a "local" guide. We tipped the "guide".
Then the driver took us to the National Museum of Tanzania, paid the entrance and accompanied us around. Quite interesting exhibits (including the Presidential Rolls Royce), but sadly both the museum and the exhibits are lack of maintenance and the place was rather hot.
Next was a some kind of a souvenir center with pricey handicrafts. We asked the driver to take us to a more "touristic" souvenir market where we could buy caps, flags, etc. which he kindly did.
After done with shopping, the driver said, "We're done, now I'll take you back to the port." So much for a "Dar Es Salaam city sightseeing private tour".
Not much of the city was worth seeing, obviously.

The tour operator met us promptly, welcomed us, and gave us souvenirs upon arrival. Our driver/tour guide was very pleasant, respectful and showed us as much of the city as he could for the limited time we were there. The only issue was that the tour operator currently does not have access to get inside the port so we've had to meet them outside the gate. The walk there was a little long with a lot of vehicle traffic coupled with heat and humidity. The tour itself was fine.
